After nearly two decades of marriage, Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen have decided to part ways. The couple, who have been together for 18 years, announced their separation, marking the end of an era for the longtime partners.
Their representative confirmed the news to People, emphasizing that the two remain on amicable terms. Their primary focus now is co-parenting their two sons, ensuring that their family continues to thrive despite the change in their relationship status.
In a testament to their ongoing friendship, Mollen, 46, was present to celebrate Biggs’ 48th birthday on May 12. The family gathered to mark the occasion, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining strong familial bonds.
A source close to the couple expressed confidence in their future collaboration as parents, stating, “They are very much connected. I have no doubt that they will remain on excellent terms.”
The pair’s story began on the set of the 2008 film “My Best Friend’s Girl,” where they first crossed paths. Their romance quickly blossomed, leading to an engagement in January 2008. Just four months later, they eloped, followed by a more formal celebration with 40 guests in Napa later that year.

They now share two sons together, Sid, 12, and Lazio, eight.
It was just over a year ago the duo with celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary with a joint post featuring their silly moments together.
’17 years of this. Happy Anniversary @biggsjason,’ Mollen captioned the post.
However Mollen was once plagued with insecurities in their relationship, which she detailed in a 2019 op-ed entitled I Used to Be Jealous of My Husband’s Ex, Then I Became a Mom.
In the piece, Mollen detailed an unhealthy fixation she once had with one of Biggs’ ex-girlfriends.
‘In my younger years (read: most of my 30s), I did drive-bys down her block, posted pics of myself in cute outfits I hoped she’d stumble across while googling me, and reeled her into interacting with me by finding things of hers around our house and gifting them back to her,’ the New York Times bestselling author wrote in her piece for Parents.
Biggs opened up to Us Weekly about his reaction to Mollen’s piece, telling them that he thought ‘it was a really sweet article.’
‘You know Jenny is so unique, so funny, so likable and so fun and that whole experience sort of encapsulated all of that,’ the American Pie actor said.

‘But, you know, we change, we grow up. We have kids and life goes on and the girl you stalked has kids.
‘We’re changing and we’re just kind of growing up and for her, she felt like she needed to sort of say something about that and how she is not that person anymore.’
Biggs also has been candid about his own troubled past, some of which seeped into his marriage with Mollen.
The Orange Is The New Black star is now sober after a battle with drugs and alcohol – and the addiction grew so dark he even hid his drug use from Mollen.
‘I knew when I needed to call the coke dealer because I was gonna drink too much, and how much Ambien to take or benzos to take based on how much coke I’d had so I’d come down but hopefully not die,’ he confessed on the Well with Arielle Lorre podcast last year.
After shooting to fame at 19 in the American Pie franchise, Biggs boasted that he had, ‘money in the bank, coke in my pocket and nobody saying no to me.’
‘It was [amazing] but I was also aware of crazy that was,’ he added.
The former couple wed in 2008 and share two children together
Biggs admitted to getting so blacked out during coke and booze-fueled benders that he’d forget what he did the night before.
Sharing how dark his addiction became, Biggs admitted to hiding his drug use from Mollen.
‘I was drinking a lot by myself and using a lot by myself and not telling my wife,’ he explained.
In 2024 Mollen sparked fury after taking a five-hour flight while infected with head lice, an infection she was unaware of when she boarded the plane.
‘I can’t even deal. This is insane, you guys,’ Mollen said in the video while in her seat on the plane.

‘I’ve never had lice in my life. I don’t know what to do,’ she added.
‘I’ve been itching for two weeks, so they’ve been living on me for two weeks.’
In an apparent effort to prevent spreading the lice, the Crazy, Stupid Love actress opted for a questionable solution: a plastic bag over her head.
Mollen explained in a second video that she was unaware of the infestation until she was already on the plane.
‘I thought that I was going through perimenopause,’ she explained.
She underwent treatment, along with her family and several others who were exposed.
